MATHIAS JONES. Why did your character join the RAC? he didn't make it into a fancy mars med-school, so this was the second best option. look, he needed to prove himself he's already illegitimate. What might they be doing now if they hadn't joined? in a mess, probably really withdrawn and depressed and lonely. holding some bullshit job his father pulled for him at thorne corp. insecurities abound. i know this sounds like what he is now but it'd be worse ok. When they picture their future, what do they see? UM. NOTHING GOOD HONESTLY.
